NEED A BRIDGE?
Our Team of dental professionals is here to help you with your dental bridge.
What Is A Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a device which acts as a partial removable replacement for one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is made up of two crowns, one on each tooth on each side of the gap, and one or more artificial teeth. The crowns are called abutment teeth and hold the dental bridge in place. Bridges are made from porcelain fused to an underlying frame made of metal cast as a partial removable replacement for one or more missing teeth.
A dental bridge is made up of two crowns, one on each tooth on each side of the gap, and one or more artificial teeth. The crowns are called abutment teeth and hold the dental bridge in place. Bridges are made from porcelain fused to an underlying frame made of metal. Just like regular dentures, dental bridges must be fitted to the mouth of the person who will be using them. They must be cleaned regularly and may eventually need to be replaced.
When Do I Need A Bridge?
People generally get fitted for dental bridges for one or two reasons; to improve their appearance after losing one or more teeth, or to repair the ability to bite and chew food correctly. Dental bridges are an alternative to dental implants which may not work for everyone, and which may be too expensive for some.
Reasons for a Dental Bridge:
- Restore The patient’s smile
- Restore proper chewing ability
- Restore or maintain the shape of the face
- Correct the pressure distribution of the bite
- Prevent remaining teeth from moving out of position

Amanda Lee,
Chipped Tooth -
I visited Apple Dentists on the recommendation of a friend, and recently had my first appointment there. They were very professional and scheduled my initial exam (which I got it for free) and cleaning together, so that I didn't have to come back for a second appointment.
